The act of including bystanders within the scene of an artwork has marked an important shift in the ways artists addressed the beholder, as well as a significant transformation of the relationship between images and their viewership. In such works, the "public" in the picture could be seen as a mediating between different times, people, and contents.With The Public in the Picture, contributors describe this shift, with each essay focusing on a specific group of works created at a different moment in history.

"Artist, Audience, Accomplice complicates traditional notions of artists' authorship by introducing the role of the accomplice. Accomplices, particularly in the art of the 1970s and 1980s, are the unseen figures essential to creation-the studio assistants, documentarians, romantic partners, and institutional staff-who act as practice audiences, witnesses, and semi-creators. Sydney Stutterheim centers her argument in four case studies devoted to Chris Burden, Hannah Wilke, Martin Kippenberger, and Lorraine O'Grady. These studies draw on archival research, original interviews, and secondary literature to demonstrate how each artist deliberately used accomplices to engage contemporary issues in their work. The use of accomplices distributes ethical responsibility among figures other than the individual artist, raising questions related to the ethics of participation and the responsibility of the artist-questions which are particularly visible in legislation and court cases of the period regarding "accomplice liability," the legal definition of the abettor, and lawsuits involving artists. Arguing that the author's authority is not sovereign, total, and exclusive, but instead fluid and relational, Stutterheim employs issues of labor and ethics to reimagine artistic agency, aesthetic property, and authorship"--
